History
In 1973 the Western Counties Regional Library staff formed a "Committee for a Nova Scotia Library Association." On 11 February 1973 a meeting was held at the Halifax County Regional Library to discuss the feasibility of establishing an association. It was felt that an association was needed, especially to meet the needs of non-professional staff. The first official meetings of the association took place in Yarmouth between 29 September and 1 October 1973. The Nova Scotia Library Association was officially incorporated on 5 April 1974. The mandate of the Association is to promote and facilitate, through practical means, the exchange of ideas, problems and solutions among people concerned with library service at all levels and in all geographic areas of Nova Scotia.
